Chapter 94: Defeating Huo Chengjin

Chapter 94

Qin Zhao was nonchalant as he stared at Huo Chengjin.

Did this man really think he was formidable?

Later when he had beaten him into a pulp on the ground, he would know who the truly formidable one was!

Qin Zhao had not brought any weapons when he went out, so he looked to the other people around, trying to grab one to use.

In just that brief moment, a man with braided hair jumped onto the platform.

Initially his appearance did not elicit any reaction from the spectators.

Until someone shouted, "Number 13 on the List of Heroes in the World, Wang Mahua!"

The announcer said, "Wang Mahua, whose given name is Wang Zhan, has shown outstanding martial arts talent since he was young, and is also aggressive and eager to fight.

Starting at the age of 16, he began dueling all kinds of masters, constantly losing and constantly fighting again.

Finally after 20 years of struggle, he earned the number 13 spot on the List of Heroes in the World!

But because his looks were ordinary, others could never remember his name or face. In anger, he started braiding his hair like women do, which became his signature look.

That's why people affectionately call him Wang Mahua."

Qin Zhao looked at Wang Mahua's rough beard and meticulously braided hair, as well as his open chested outfit, and marveled, "What a charming little thing he is."

While the crowd may not know Wang Mahua, the reputation of the List of Heroes in the World was like thunder piercing their ears.

Huo Chengjin did not seem frightened by Wang Mahua's fame, looking at him calmly as if he had everything under control.

Qin Zhao also wanted to see just how powerful the male lead was, who in the original work had fled in fear, but eventually grew into the pinnacle of martial strength!

So he sat up straight, shook off his sleepiness, and watched the fight unfold quite seriously.

Wang Mahua's weapon was a long whip, while Huo Chengjin was unarmed.

Wang Mahua let out a loud roar, cracking his long whip, the sounds piercing people's hearts!

The two of them chased each other back and forth on the small platform, both moving with ease.

They were both highly skilled.

Qin Zhao suddenly felt a little worried - was he really a match for Huo Chengjin?

Although he had never tasted defeat before, perhaps it was because his previous opponents had all been too weak. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

He felt a trace of unease in his heart.

On the platform, Wang Mahua said irritably, "Are you going to fight or not? Who has the energy to keep chasing you? You're not my wife!"

This drew laughter from the crowd.

"Hahahaha!"

Qin Zhao replied, "I'll return it to you later."

Then she walked onto the platform.

Seeing Qin Zhao step up, a flash of darkness crossed Huo Chengjin's eyes.

His mouth opened and closed, mouthing silently to Qin Zhao: Greetings, Princess.

Qin Zhao lifted her chin slightly in acknowledgement.

Huo Chengjin said, "Young lord, have you come to enjoy yourself at the brothel?"

Qin Zhao replied, "Who in the world does not wish to behold a courtesan's elegance with their own eyes?"

Huo Chengjin: "But young lord..."

He wanted to say, Qin Zhao was clearly a woman, so how could she be interested in other women?

But he did not dare expose her disguise in front of the princess, so he left his words unsaid.

Although Huo Chengjin did not finish, Qin Zhao understood his implied meaning.

She stated frankly, "You are too narrow-minded. The desire to appreciate beauty is universal, not your exclusive privilege.

Besides, I, this young lord, may do as I please, it is not your place to meddle."

Huo Chengjin responded, "What the young lord says is right, I was rude."

The Fourth Prince Qin Su felt the person on the platform seemed vaguely familiar, but could not recall where he had seen them before, a puzzled look in his eyes.

Huo Chengjin bowed with cupped hands to Qin Zhao and said, "Please grant me your instruction, young lord."

Then he took the initiative to attack!

Qin Zhao opened her fan, fanning herself leisurely, waiting for him to approach.

Huo Chengjin's claw-like hands tried to grab Qin Zhao's clothes, but she nimbly dodged.

She snapped her fan shut and rapped it on Huo Chengjin's head!

Huo Chengjin only felt a sharp pain, and soon a lump protruded from that spot!

But it was hidden by his hair, so outsiders could not see, sparing him too much embarrassment.

Still, it made Huo Chengjin grit his teeth and say, "Young lord, don't you think you've gone too far?

I've shown you restraint at every turn, yet you show me no quarter!"

Qin Zhao laughed, "If you want to concede, why not just admit defeat directly?

Save yourself the trouble of putting on this act with me!"

What Huo Chengjin wanted was to appear strong and carefree before Qin Zhao, not to lose face!

He could not tolerate losing to Princess Zhao Yang, so in his subsequent attacks, he no longer held back!
